Aaron

God called for you untimely,
  Six and a half years have passed.
But I can still remember,
  The lovely time I saw you last.

You was a welcomed surprise,
  On May 15th, 2002.
But then for some reason,
  The good Lord summoned you.

A feeling I can’t explain,
  The letting go of a son.
He will always be our child,
  We love and miss you Aaron.

You are so thoughtful! Such a beautiful heartfelt dedication. Very, very sad and tragic when someone loses a child. Love, Shar

Again, Raul, this is perfect. Beautifully written and written with your heart. I am going to frame the 3 poems and my two and display them. I want everyone in my life to read these and I want to see them everyday to remind me not only of my son and where he is but also of you and your beautiful gift to me and my family. You have not only given me my first birthday and Christmas present this year but also the finest. Thank you so much. The light of Christ shines in you. God bless. Love Robin

Very nice Raul, grief is much easier to bear on many shoulders.
